/var/spool/imap seems to be fine, but when it tries to make /var/imap it fails.
double check that /var/imap exists, and if it still fails, try and remove /var/imap, allow cryus permissions to create the directory for the duration of mkimap, and then change the permissions of /var back.
HTH.

Hello. I posted yesterday under the subject of "mkimap failure", but did not receive any responses. This is my first time posting to any group and if I have done something wrong, I apologize. Please let me know what it is so that I don't repeat it. Below is a more concise description of my problem. I would appreciate it if anyone would be kind enough to respond.
packages installed:
db-4.1.25 openssl-0.9.7c cyrus-sasl-2.1.15 cyrus-imapd-2.1.15
Everything compiles fine. When I su to cyrus and run "tools/mkimap", I can see the return is incorrect:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/src/cyrus-imapd-2.1.15/tools$ ./mkimap
. will configure directory /var/imap . saw partition /var/spool/imap done ...ating /var/imap at (eval 1) line 91.ar/imap
This is a fresh install of Slackware-9.1. No permissions other than what is required in the manual have been changed. Running Strace on mkimap shows the following:
